Hi all, Hopefully this isn't a thread that has come up before, I did use search but the keywords turned up a lot of unrelated posts.
I thought it would be good to read other people's stories on how you first got into DJing and why you wanted to do it.
For me I always used to listen to Drum and Bass DJ mixes and still do, I used to get bored listening to single tracks one after the other due to the long intros and outros. When listening to DJ mixes (on cassette at the time) I used to fast forward past the tracks I didn't like and eventually decided to try recording my own mixes using only music that I liked.
I bought a Numark DJ in a box and started hanging around the local record shop from the age of 15 spending all of the money I earned from my Saturday job. Eventually after months of very poor mixing my skills began to improve and I recorded loads of tapes to listen to at school and eventually at work.
I started a pirate radio station with a couple of older guys I had met and they taught me a lot more tricks and techniques.
